(1996) Victory for Hendrik Van Dyck ahead of Jelle Nydam and Michel Cornelisse.

174 riders started, including Frank Vandenbroucke, Jo Plankaert, Tom Steels, and Chris Peers. For a moment, it looked as though Vandenbroucke would secure the victory, holding an 8-second lead on the final passage. However, the peloton closed the gap, and the sprinters prepared for a mass sprint. This never materialized, as Hendrik Van Dyck surprised the sprinters with a late attack on Nokereberg.
